Developed in the 30's, the L-00 was an industry standard for many years. The L-00 Standard beautifully captures the heritage of those exemplary early models.
With perfect balance, the L-00 has unparalleled projection not found in comparable small body guitars.
The L-00 Standard is now fitted with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system. This active design utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a natural, full-bodied amplified tone that faithfully represents the guitar’s inherent character, without altering its unplugged voice. The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone allow quick, intuitive adjustments on the fly, remaining virtually unseen by the audience. With its refined electronics and included hardshell case, the L-00 Standard is ready for both stage and studio use the moment it’s picked up.
